Sakura Garden Japanese Steakhouse

The service was slow. They were not understaffed. Oh, the waitress was late coming in, and we waited 15-20 minutes for our check and payment to be picked up and ran. There was something, boney hard in the volcano roll we ordered, the 3rd piece into the roll. At that point, we stopped eating it. My tempura vegetables were delicious. Just wished our service was better and didn't come across that hard piece of sushi.

Good food & it was a fun time, although the only issue we had was the waitress. She never checked on us if we needed more drinks, etc. AND we had to go ask for our check because she just disappeared. We could have dined & and dashed, and they would have never known! The 3 stars for service is for the chef for our table ONLY. He was engaging & funny and cooked our food to perfection!

If you're looking for a good place for your dinner Sakura Garden Japanese Steakhouse would be a great place for your relaxing night.
I had the basic salmon avocado roll which I normally order from Japanese restaurant. The basic menu can tell you about quality of the place and the salmon avocado roll here is amazing. I can feel the fresh texture of salmon and avocado, and the sushi rice is warm and tasty.
The bartender was extremely friendly. They also provided variety drink not only Japanese drinks. Next time I will try the teppanyaki.

Our server was quite nice, but our order seemed to come out whenever the kitchen was finished plating so we all ate whenever. Only 5 adults.
The quality of the atmosphere and service did not match the price of the meal. I felt that because they are popular they don't have to care about the details.

This review is for the dining side. We were promptly greeted, seated, and given water. The Mhai Thai was delicious, not too sweet, and had a perfect amount of tartness. Sushi was refreshing and filling, but could have been a little bit more flavorful. Our server Kaitlyn was personable while giving us enough space to enjoy our meal.

This is our go-to restaurant for special events, date night and happy hour. We bring friends here all the time. The fish is always fresh and the presentation exquisite. Drinks are generous. But the best is the service, especially if you get Lek as your server. She always remembers us and our drinks and how we like them. Always a fun experience.

I feel like we got there a little early for Hibachi. We sat down and there was no one else on that side of the restaurant. Made for some nice pictures though!
Soon the tables started to fill. We sat with a couple other groups at our table and then the show began.
For starters, we had the usual soup and salad. (which are both delicious!) And we ordered the California roll. Perfect amount of crab and avocado. Finally, the main course was fantastic. The steak was cooked to perfection and the veggies, chicken, rice, and noodles were perfectly portioned and tasty!
And finally, the wait-staff and chef were phenomenally kind and attentive.

Ahh.. Sakura Garden, how I love this place. Sakura is my traditional birthday dinner place to eat. I've been to this one and the Windsor one; they're both fantastic. If you don't leave this place without a grin on your face, I'd be shocked.

Service:
- We've done hibachi every time so I can't comment on sit-down. Hibachi servers are just fantastic. Fun, entertaining, and excellent chefs.
- If there's a birthday, they make sure you have a great time and even the other guests/customers are good company.
- They ask how you want your meat cooked and actually cook it to that which is probably one of the rarer things to see in restaurants.

Food:
- Food is fantastic. Superb. Honestly never had a single bad thing to say about the food they cook, it's all done in front of you so what you see is literally what you get.
- Hibachi includes rice of choice, meat, salad, and a soup.
- I've tried the steak, chicken, and salmon before and it was never a bad move, you can't go wrong with what you pick.
- If you like noodles, YOU MUST add the noodles to the hibachi dinner ($3 extra); I don't think I've ever had as good noodles as the hibachi freshly cooked ones in front of you. You also get a TON, TRUST ME GET THE NOODLES!
- Use the YUM YUM sauce, it's almost liquid gold.
- Quantity is in no despair, you will probably go home with leftovers.
- Quality is also not lacking, did I mention the food is amazing?
- At about $24-30 per Hibachi dinner, it may seem steep, but it is money very well spent.

Drinks:
- The volcano bowl is only at the Glastonbury Sakura, $40 and not worth it at all; stick to the scorpion bowl.
- I prefer the Windsor one, drinks are cheaper and the same.
- Every time I've went we get a scorpion bowl for 2; at $20, you're gonna get drunk, you might need to catch an Uber home. If you wanna get plastered, drink it alone!
- With all that said, yeah... the drinks are good.

Other:
- Bathrooms are elegant and clean as a whistle.
- Styling and appearance of the place is upscale, almost fine dining level.
- Got a free birthday desert that was fried ice cream, it was honestly pretty good; thought I wasn't going to be a fan.
